This is my favourite so far. Brilliant twist ending. One that I remember from years ago.

I'm with you gents. This has Dante all over it. Childhood fears made real, and a wicked twist. Brilliant.

Sorry to hear that.

On another subject, the bully in this episode was played by Jason pressman, who was one of the 3 kids in Explorers, which was also directed by joe Dante.

Great film that, unfortunately bad ending though.

Anyone know what happened to Jason pressman?
